Chicago Daily Law BulletinJuly 9, 2013

In Depth

Steven Scholes said he considered the departure of Merri Jo Gilette from her position as Director of the Chicago regional SEC office to be “a very big loss for the commission. Merri Jo was the sort of prototypical tough-but-fair prosecutor. You might disagree at the end of the day, certainly, but you always had the sense she would always give what you had to say serious consideration. And she was persuadable. She would keep an open mind through the process and do her very best to get to what the facts and law would dictate was the right result.”
